Constructing cyclopropanols, one carbon at a time (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Constructing cyclopropanols, one carbon at a time Iron-catalyzed reaction creates a key intermediate stereoselectively The latest chemistry news, including important research advances, business and policy trends, chemical safety practices, career guidance, and more. Researchers in Ryan Shenvi’s lab at Scripps Research debuted a new way to make cyclopropanols in which each of the three carbon atoms in the ring comes from a different source (Science 2026, DOI: 10.1126/science.aej0194). Beyond bein

Finally, chemists wrangle the hydrogen radical in synthesis ‘This tiny, beautiful element,’ now accessible with mild conditions, can reduce organic molecules The latest chemistry news, including important research advances, business and policy trends, chemical safety practices, career guidance, and more. Atomic hydrogen (H•) is the smallest radical in the universe, consisting of one electron and one proton. Irving Langmuir observed H• experimentally for the first time in 1912, and it has since f

Skeletal editing helps chemists access elusive pyrroles Oxygen-to-carbon swap expands synthesis options for 5-membered aromatics Highlights, news stories and awards from ACS meetings. Researchers at the University of Chicago have developed a new skeletal editing technique that lets chemists create challenging pyrrole compounds from easier-to-assemble isoxazole molecules through an oxygen to-carbon swap. Abigail Bracken, a fourth-year graduate student in Mark Levin’s laboratory, presented the wor

Chemists join forces to boost reproducibility in catalysis research (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Catalysis chemists are joining forces for reproducibility Collective effort is key to avoiding reproducibility struggles that have plagued many scientific fields Recurring stories and special news packages from C&EN. In January, 50 chemists held a 3-day workshop in an airport hotel in Denver. The group was comprised of researchers from various career stages and sectors, including academia, industry, and national labs. All of them were connected by a mutual research theme—homogenous catalysis—and
